About the event
Hailed as “hilarious yet harrowing,” “A boldly brave work,” and “a funny foul-mouthed female Noel Coward” by the Orlando Weekly. Through witty piano tunes with titles like “Daddy Issues Boyfriend” and “Thank You for not Murdering Me” and comedic storytelling, Coburn weaves modern comedy with the misleading myth of Medusa, the awkward birth of Venus, and the strange story of Europa.
Beyond the laughter, Coburn’s show is a powerful feminist statement that delves into issues of consent, power dynamics, and healing. With a unique blend of humor and vulnerability, she invites audiences to confront uncomfortable truths and find solace in shared experiences.
